COVID-19 impacting travel worldwide

North Dakota offers great opportunities for travelers to follow their curiosity and enjoy our unspoiled wide-open spaces. We also place the health and safety of our residents and guests as our top priority.

Travel orders have been amended - allowing people to travel freely within the United States and releasing requirements for everyone except international travelers. Anyone traveling from another country, who is not merely passing through the state, must quarantine immediately upon entry to North Dakota for a period of 14 days or for the duration of the person's presence in North Dakota, whichever period is shorter.

Exemptions from Quarantine:

People commuting internationally to and from North Dakota for work or for essential supplies and services.

Affected individuals are encouraged to fill out the travel form to receive information on how to monitor for symptoms. If you have symptoms and wish to seek medical care, please call before you go in.

Further, the state encourages residents and visitors to take diligent precautions to prevent transmission of COVID-19, including thorough hand-washing, wearing masks, avoiding non-essential travel and practicing physical distancing. Visit NDDoH for more information!
